<p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for regulating first aid provision
in the workplace, as set out in the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981,
but is no longer responsible for the regulation of general workplace first aid training.</p><p>
</p><p>The training syllabus for first aid at work requires workplace first aiders
to be trained in administering first aid to a casualty in anaphylactic shock; training
providers may choose to include the use of adrenaline (epinephrine) auto-injectors
as part of this. It is the employer’s responsibility to conduct a first aid needs
assessment. If this highlighted a need for training around the use of auto-injectors
it would be for them to identify a suitable training provider.</p><p> </p>
